:<code>{{tlx|citation needed|reason{{=}}''your explanation here''|date{{=}}{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}</code>


The reason parameter is optional but collaboration is best if you use it. It displays as a tooltip.
You may append a date to the template in the following format:

:<code><nowiki>{{Citation needed|{{subst:DATE}}}}</nowiki></code>
The date parameter is technically optional and if not used a bot will soon add it; but there's no reason to cause another edit to the article history needlessly so please use it. Some prefer to use the date-subsituation template to automatically generate the date, e.g., <code><nowiki>{{Citation needed|{{subst:DATE}}}}</nowiki></code>.
